Video Display Corporation Achieves Significant Milestone for U.S. Marine Corps SAVT Program
01 April 2010 - 8:36PM
Video Display Corporation (Nasdaq:VIDE) is pleased to announce that
its VDC Display Systems division of Cape Canaveral FL (VDC DS) has
successfully achieved Customer Final Acceptance for its first
Visual System under the U.S. Marine Corps Supporting Arms Virtual
Training (SAVT) program. The system is installed in a trainer that
will be utilized to advance the training capability, operational
readiness, and tactical proficiency of Joint Terminal Attack
Controllers (JTAC's), Joint Forward Observers (JFO's), and Forward
Air Controllers (FAC's). The Display System is provided under a
contract issued to TJ Drafting and Design, Christmas, Florida by
the Marine Corps System Command, Orlando, Florida.
VDC DS delivered and installed a complete "state of the art"
Visual Display System in accordance with the Program Schedule that
included three ultra high resolution Sony SXRD® SRX-T105 4K
projectors, a high performance screen with a horizontal field of
view of 260 degrees and a vertical field of view of 60 degrees,
plus the Easy Blend® advanced auto calibration system for image
warping, color and edge blend. The Display System was installed at
the Camp Pendleton Marine Corp facility in accordance with the
Program Schedule.
Each Display System provides correct perspective, color,
resolution, and luminance relative to the trainee's design
eye-point for display of the day, dusk, night, and simulated
night-vision-device (NVD) visual scene provided by the SAVT Image
Generators.
The training scenarios will require the placement of tactical
ordnance on selected targets using Joint Close Air Support
(JCAS) procedures and observed fire procedures for Naval
Surface Fire Support (NSFS), artillery and mortar fire to
perform destruction, neutralization, suppression,
illumination/coordinated illumination, interdiction, and
harassment fire missions.
Having achieved customer final acceptance on the first SAVT
system, VDC DS is under contract to supply five additional SAVT
Visual Display Systems, all of which are scheduled to be completed
during the Company's current fiscal year.
